Care of the Instrument
Clean the instrument housing and display using a soft
cloth lightly dampened with water or a mild window-
cleaning product. Never use harsh solvents as they
could cause the plastic to become brittle or damaged.
Care of Delay Line Probes
Replace delays showing signs of excessive wear or
those embedded with metal turnings. Delays in good
condition should periodically have the couplant
between the probe face and delay refreshed as follows:
• Remove the delay by unthreading the knurled ring
• Wipe clean the mating surfaces of the delay and
transducer face
• Apply a fresh drop of lightweight oil (recommend
XD-740 couplant) and replace the delay line
Proper Cable Handling
• Avoid twisting or knotting of the cable
• Grasp the cable only by the connectors when
connecting or disconnecting from the instrument
Batteries
Periodically inspect the batteries for signs of leakage
or corrosion. If either occurs, remove and replace ALL
the batteries. Take care to properly dispose of the
defective batteries.
